We create clocks and looking glasses in an exuberant artistic style
popular in circa 1790–1840 America, when artistry reflected an
enlightened way of understanding the surrounding world. Mary Ann
does the eglomise, stenciling, gilding and clock dial painting.
Terry performs the wood working tasks including joinery, spindle
turning, carving and veneering. We enjoy building heirlooms that
families will cherish for future generations.
